Parkersback Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Powers 12. Not bad at all, but for an Irish in the arsenal I'd rather replace it with regular Powers (for easy drinking on the rocks) or Black Bush (which is a little sweeter and thicker that could be had neat or on the rocks.)

camduncan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 My first ever Basil Hayden bottle bit the dust tonight. Sadly it had started to taste oxidised, so ended up making a couple of strong bourbon and cokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Babington Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 2010 ER17 had dregs left so killed it. Testiment to quality, it was still super great. Now toasting the demise with the last of a 2011 Stagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylermke Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 My first ever Basil Hayden bottle bit the dust tonight. Sadly it had started to taste oxidised, so ended up making a couple of strong bourbon and cokes.How long was the bottle open? Curious if you noticed something different with the taste in less than 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black mamba Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Emptied my Rendezvous Rye tonight. No tears, though, this one did not live up to reputation or cost, for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Mike Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Polished of a 15 year Pappy tonight. It was about time, I'd had it since 07 or 08. It got shuffled behind some other bottles and I kind of forgot about it for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got shuffled behind some other bottles and I kind of forgot about it for a few years.Congratulations!Edit: To clarify, I've been killing off things lately that have been open that long.

wmpevans Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 In the last several days put OFBB 2012 and GBS EC-12 to rest. Both very good bottles.Far too many open bottles. Big problem:lol:Anyway trying to clear some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoFlyer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It seems I've had success in polishing off my bottle of Weller 12 lately. Fortunately, for me and my wallet, I can buy it in 1.75s so I just keep refilling the 750 since it fits in my bar better. I like to think of it as my magical bottle.

LostBottle Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I laid a dear friend to rest last night, I am now going to curl up in the fetal position and cry. Time to try and hunt another. Edited May 4, 2013 by LostBottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So jealous that you got to consume a bottle, such delicious stuff. I waffled too long and when I went to pull the trigger, it was gone.I didn't put it down by myself, but I pulled my weight. It was a leftover offering from a good friend at the Gazebo.

Yeti Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Been on a path of destruction clearing out low fill bottles. Put down a HH White around the same time that Abe Bowman bit the dust. The next day was an OGD 114, then a PHC 2012 batch #3. Tonight might be the demise of my first 2013 FR1B. It limped back pretty wounded from the Gazebo, so it seems honorable to go ahead and put it out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Last pour tonight from a bottle of Smooth Ambler Very Old Scout 14yr. This is the only bottle I've had for which I was sorry I read one of Sku's reviews, because I couldn't get his description of 'briny Kalamata olives' out of my mind every time I took a pour (a great descriptor, spot on, but I couldn't get past it). It's a nice high-rye bourbon with plenty of baking spices and burnt caramel in the background. Behind the olives. Deep in the shadows of the olives.

higgins Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Finished off a bottle of Baby Saz making Manhattans last night. Availability has been better around here recently, so hopefully I won't have to do too much hunting to restock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
